The flights will operate between private terminals at Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) and Hollywood Burbank International Airport (BUR). In partnership with the prominent tourism entities promoting air travel to Reno, JSX will provide a safe, worry-free flight experience for those seeking weekend getaways or essential business trips to the stunning Sierra Nevada mountain region.
“We are excited to partner with RTAA and RASC to offer new service between Burbank and Reno, and provide

I know the residents of Reno–Tahoe will love our unique hop-on, crowd-free flights and we can’t wait to welcome them onboard.”

The JSX flight experience offers an easy, quick and safe way for passengers to travel without the crowds you see in most airports.”
The hop-on jet service’s new flight service between Burbank and Reno is widely supported by the Reno and Lake Tahoe communities and numerous entities within the region. The Regional Air Service Corporation (RASC) is made up of dozens of businesses, including lodging properties, business organizations, and destination marketing organizations, all with the shared purpose of supporting air service to Reno-Tahoe International Airport. It has long recognized the importance of connecting the Burbank and Reno markets, and through the cooperative outreach efforts of its partners, Reno-Tahoe International Airport and JSX, it is now able to provide this air service while bringing a new air carrier to the market.
“The Reno and Lake Tahoe community continues to once again show it’s true, resilient character as it seeks to support and find opportunities that connect the community to key markets in support of its strong tourism and business economies,” said Andy Chapman, Chairman of RASC. “We are excited to partner with the Reno-Tahoe International Airport and JSX to bring this new air service to both communities and look forward to continuing expanding this partnership.”
